SOLD-Springfield 30-40 Krag Sporter
I've had this rifle since I was about 16, and I'm now 70. I used it on several early (and probably illegal) hunts as a youth, and did pretty well with the ghost ring-type rear peep. It could use a good cleaning, but functions well. Based on the date of manufacture, this one can ship direct to you; no FFL needed. I see there's quite a bit of interest in these old guns, so I thought I'd pass it on to someone who want to play or hunt with it.

$550 + $50 shipping

Jon, wait. You're 70? And you have given me how much grief over being old for how long? I'll be 69 for three more days.

Bill, I think I hit the back of the safe. I used to have 125 rifles, plus handguns and shotguns. No more...I'm cured!!!!

Bill/Oregon: Happy Birthday!
The rifle is currently in transit to me and I'm happier than a hog in sh*t since I've wanted one since I was a kid.

Bongo, thanks -- and we'll need proof that you have put that Krag to excellent use. Enjoy it!
